Abstract

A clip may include an anchor portion (20) that is configured to be inserted into an insertion hole (32) formed in a subject member (30). The anchor portion (20) has at least a pair of pillars (22) that are positioned across an axis (P) of the anchor portion (20), and flexible strips (28) that are respectively connected to the pillars (22) so as to be projected outward therefrom. The pillars (22) are configured to be flexed about proximal ends (22a) thereof in a direction in which the pillars (22) can intersect with each other. The flexible strips (28) are configured to engage a periphery of the insertion hole (32) formed in the subject member (30) when the anchor portion (20) is inserted into the insertion hole (32), so as to hold the anchor portion (20) on the subject member (30) with a retention force. The pillars (22) can be applied with a flexing force when an extraction force greater than the retention force of the anchor portion (20) is applied to the anchor portion (20), so as to be flexed in the direction in which the pillars (22) can intersect with each other.
